Peace Tree Cold Brew Coffee Stout

Peace Tree Cold Brew Coffee Stout. 6.5 % ABV.
Peace Tree Brewing Company, Knoxville & Des Moines, Iowa.

Solid blackness. Slim brown head. Absolute opacity.

In the nose: Rich. Earthy. Coffee. Roasty. Deep. Slight cocoa.

In the mouth: Bright berries, dark coffee. Richness and malt. Smooth, delicious. Medium bodied, long, malty/nutty/coffee finish. Quite excellent in all regards.

I enjoyed the first 5 of this 6-pack with relish. I took great pleasure in the sixth without the aid of condiments.

Come on, you've got to let me get my jokes in, now and then.

It started with an idea in our taprooms: There should be dark beer you can enjoy year-round. Our Cold Brew Coffee Stout starts with dark and caramel malt for a roasted, chocolate character. In a process called cold brewing where time replaces heat, fresh ground coffee is steeped at cold temperatures in the final brewing stages. The result is smoother taste and fragrant aromas without sacrificing any of the rich flavor.
